I've painted plenty of 98s and A-5s with great results. I've always used Krylon primer, paint, and clear, but if going for a flat look spray can truck bed liner works great and is more durable. See my latest paint job here.

Remember, the more time you take, the better your results will be! Use extremely light coats from all four sides; you should be able to see the previous coat through the one you just laid! Keep the can moving consistently so paint is not built up in one spot!

This is how I do mine. Loosely follow this. Feel free to add coats of you're coverage isn't what you want. Remember, 10 light coats are better than 2 heavy ones!

1. Disassemble and sand down stock finish on receivers with 150-200 grit sand paper. Make sure you hit all surfaces you'll be painting. Clean dust up.

yea it would probably be best to get it professionally, although powder coating would probably be the best way to go about it, you can buy kits where you don't need a compressor and just use a toaster oven to bake it, also helps to not over painting.

Paintball changed for me twice in my life, when a close friend introduced me to pump play and cockers and when I went from woodsball with Tippmanns to tournament ball with my Bob Long Rapper and AKA Viking on the UW-Stout Team. I'm a better player thanks to both occurrences.
